Explore the legacy left by the Jewish community in the city and learn about its passage here, always keeping the national context in mind. When did the Jews arrive? When did they leave and why, and how did they leave the country? Where did they live in Coimbra? What is your importance and legacy in the city and in the country? What connects Coimbra/Portugal to the Second World War? These are some of the questions we will try to answer along the way. To know places in Coimbra linked to its Jewish past, some of great national and international importance (such as the Inquisition Courtyard, or the Jewish Quarter). Discover the incredible legacy of the Jewish community in Coimbra.

About Coimbra

Coimbra is a hill city on the Mondego River in central Portugal, home to a centuries-old university, a baroque library and its own style of fado.

Coimbra rises above the Mondego River in central Portugal and was the country's capital in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Its university, founded in 1290 and settled in Coimbra from 1537, is the oldest in Portugal, and the old campus on the hill is a UNESCO site with the gilded Joanina Library and a tall clock tower. Students still wear black academic capes.
